market.api.query: Send request to market API

In Rbitcoin: R & bitcoin integration

Description

Route a request to particular market function.

Usage

market.api.query(market, ..., verbose = getOption("Rbitcoin.verbose", 0),
  on.error = expression(stop(e[["message"]], call. = FALSE)))

Arguments

market	character which identifies market on which we want to send request: bitstamp, btce, kraken, bitmarket.
...	objects to be passed to API: url, key, secret, req, client_id (used on bitstamp).
verbose	integer. Rbitcoin processing messages, print to console if verbose > 0, each subfunction reduce verbose by 1. If missing then getOption("Rbitcoin.verbose",0) is used, by default 0.
on.error	expression to be evaluated on R level error of market specific function. It does not catch internal market's error returned as valid object.

Details

To do not spam market's API, use Sys.sleep(10) between API calls.

Value

R object created by fromJSON decoded result from market's API call.

Note

It is advised to use this function instead of calling market's function directly. If calling directly one should ensure to send any numeric values in non-exponential notation: options(scipen=100).
